Yup. Everywhere boats are being readied and money is changing hands. The new sailing season is almost here. Sailors are getting excited.

So what are you buying Tillerman? Thanks for asking.

Bah, Humbug! You can't fool me. Just because we've had two sunny days in a row doesn't mean that spring is here. Oh yeah, I know the spring Laser frostbiting season starts on Sunday -- and I will be sailing. But it's only March. The water will be very cold in Connecticut. It's still drysuit weather in these parts. So I'm buying what I really need.More thermal underwear.

I thought it was self-explanatory. I will be sailing on Sunday. It will be cold. I need warm stuff to wear under my drysuit.

Oh, the agony - - Carol Anne got back with her boat Sunday, dropped it off, and went sailing in 75-degree weather and the gentlest of piffling 2 to 4 knot breezes. But, cheer up; the forecast for the coming weekend is for 15 to 20 knots and a more seasonable 55 degrees or so. And, today, I managed to spend ONLY $300 on Carol Anne's boat. Pat

Could you take a look at my post on "When to Cancel the Race" and see if it makes sense to you. It's based on inland lake racing, where some of the boats are smaller and not set-up for really heavy weather. Pat, desertsea.blogspot.com
